Wine/Champagne for our wedding

[brappy]

When you think of wines as good values, think about leaving California. Or at least be open to the idea of another wine producing area.

For the Zins, California will work. For Pinots, try elsewhere. Maybe New Zealand, Australia, Austria, and possibly Oregon and Washington. But really you should be looking for another grape that is more fun and not such a risk. Try Shiraz, or right now Merlot. Maybe even Malbec or Cabernet Franc from S. America.

Anyway, good luck.....
